Steve Irwin Memorial

Steve Irwin Memorial

News, Opinion
BY: Cory Donde We have all had a science teacher at one time or another, but unquestionably one of the most passionate biology teachers to grace the world was Steve Irwin. Steve Irwin taught an entire generation about wildlife and the importance of preserving the beautiful creatures that we share Earth with. Today marks the 13th anniversary of Irwin's death, and it's difficult not to feel melancholy at the loss of such a legend, but it is also a disservice to not remember him for what he has done for the world. His legacy stems from The Crocodile Hunter which…

Kodi’s Cinema Criteria: The Cable Guy

News, Opinion
BY: Kodi Robertson This critique will contain spoilers: believe me, this will be a good one! What can you expect when it comes to Jim Carrey? Do you expect to laugh? Do you expect to see his face stretch? How about him making a slight innuendo that your 7-year-old cousin wouldn’t catch? All of these things are what make him a phenomenon in the early and late 90’s (I would even argue it’s what makes him still incredible today). Yet, among all the films I’ve seen him in, nothing compares to his work in The Cable Guy. If you saw…

What Makes Empire Strikes Back A Good Movie?

What Makes Empire Strikes Back A Good Movie?

News, Opinion
BY: Kodi Robertson Just fair warning- this is my favorite movie therefore: Spoilers alert! From the very beginning, The Empire Strikes Back takes audiences through a dark journey in a galaxy far, far, away.

Up until the most climactic scene of the movie, the famous “No, I am your father…” scene, most of the actors like Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher didn’t even have the real final copy of the script. It took George Lucas…
